Handy: DNF Bookstore: A Shared World

DNF Bookstore: A Shared World

by Misty Walker

From USA Today bestselling author Misty Walker comes the cringiest book you ever did read.

Eaton Beavers never imagined that he would stumble upon the love of his life in a cozy, dimly lit used bookstore on a mundane weekday. But the moment his gaze landed on Jenny Tayla, he knew deep within his bone that she was the one.

Her physique was a work of art. Her thick, shapely thighs, hips that curved just so, and ample bosom left him breathless. And lord almighty, when she smiled, it was as if the sun itself had taken residence in her features, casting a radiant glow that could light up even the darkest night sky. In that fleeting moment, Eaton knew without a doubt that this woman was meant for him.

All he has to do now is convince her.

Jenny Tayla is an entrepreneur of. . . how could she put it? Fake nizzle drizzle? White honey? Trouser gravy?

Semen. She is a maker of fake but edible semen and proud of it, even if her profession comes with a price. She’s single and lonely, constantly rejected by men who find her fascination with the white substance repulsive. Sigh.

That is until a dreamboat of a man catches her drooling over the cover of a steamy romance novel at her favorite used bookstore, DNF.

Eaton Beavers is everything she could charming, handsome, and funny. Most importantly, he shares her appetite for indulging in her unique passion.

But their happy ending is threatened by Jenny’s ex-boyfriend Daniel, an investor in her company who still harbors possessive feelings towards her. With misguided determination, he sets off to destroy her man chowder business and her one chance at true love.

DNF series challenge, review series

I'm reading the DNF series books because... I don't know. I hate myself? I'm not going to rate them because it's too subjective, but I am going to rank them from favorite to least favorite.

I cannot stop laughing. That had to be the funniest book ever. Imagine every single cringy term you can think of for eggplants and tacos and Walker has it but in a hilarious way. Spice was great as always. Walker is a gem!

Hawk Tuah!!

Another amusing book ❤️ Love Grandpa and his warning to Eaton!
I really enjoyed it, I even felt a little angst for her, but loved his bulldozing way of saving/helping her❤️ As for their kink ⭐️To Each Their Own⭐️ of course!! Honestly, I’ve been LMAO, it’s going into the keeper pile!!

I am absolutely sharing this with my friends “my love liquor” (his cum…lol) ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ and loving it when he “smacked her love muffin” with his “batter beater” 🤣🤣🤣🙃🙃
🔥🔥🔥WoW, Easton is great with his dirty talk🥵💋😈 and Jenny’s imagination is pretty Wicked💚🖤 I’m loving these two❣️❣️
The D for Daniel must be Douchebag Daniel, right😉

😂 “Would you mind if I drove?” I ask.
She eyes me skeptically. “You’re not going to abduct me and chop me up into a million pieces that you’ll feed to the pigs on your pig farm, are you? Because I really don’t want to become pig poop.”
I blink. Then blink again. “I don’t own pigs or a farm.”🐷

Out of all the cringy DNF books I've read, this was the worst. And not for the reasons you think. I absolutely hated the MMC, Eaton, in this book. He was so toxic, pushy, manipulative, and awful! He didn't give Jenny any choices. He gave her the illusion of having a choice but never took her actual opinion. The relationship was very toxic, all wrapped up in a cute little bow of being supportive and in love.

I realize this is just a book, fiction, but it just made me feel icky. And that had nothing to do with the sex. That was really the only thing I liked about this book. Thus, I've given it two stars. I basically finished this book out of spite. And the fact is was only a little over 100 pages.

Not bc of the cringe but bc I hated Eaton's character.

The stupidest woman alive and a man who can’t take no for an answer. What could go wrong?

[Alex · Rating 1 out of 5]

”Cum dumpster” showing up right after I mentioned it being the worst insult a classmate could think of was by far the best thing with this book.

Cringe📈🤣

[Leigh Anne]

Oooof. The cringiest part of this book was how overbearing the MMC was. He continually ignored her requests in order to get what he wanted 🤬

[Camilla · Rating 4 out of 5]

3.5 ⭐️ | ARC review

Not as cringy as some of the others in the book, and I found myself a little bored. Many fun elements though, and if you like books with many a description of "man juice", this might be for you. Also, slow clap for the main characters names: Jenny Talya and Eaton Beavers. 👏👏

🍌 instalove
🍌 love for creamy love liquor
🍌 drama with the ex
🍌 we love a girl boss

Well the reviews on this made me think, hey maybe I just started this entire thing with the wrong one. and this could be better! I was wrong. I'm not trying to yuck anyone's yum at all. But this was a new kink (& activities to fulfill that kink) that I never knew existed? (Maybe I just didn't know the name for it?) However! It's redemption? It had a full beginning, conflict, and resolution that actually made some sense. The MMC really tried to make things and life easier for the FMC. This was the final throw my hands up and be done though. I could not keep going in this challenge.

[Sharie Barker · Rating 3 out of 5]

Oooooof, the cringe was up there. Insta-love is normally a kindle thrower for me ... so this took some effort to get through. Add on the fact that "man batter" when it's played with gives me the worst ick ever, and you can see my struggles with this book 😂 amazing writing though and had me giggling!

[Bethie_books · Rating 3 out of 5]

3/5 stars

Some of the other books in the series have been more cringy. While I was ok with the direction this book took, I wasn't super invested in this book like I was with the others. Maybe it was just me...

Thank you to the author for an ARC.

[Bookbun8 · Rating 5 out of 5]

Too cute and not cringy at all! 😍

Their story was so cute! I really liked their instalove and how perfect they were for each other.

Also, I kind of like her business idea. I mean she's not wrong, people do that all the time. Why should it be considered taboo? 😂

[Lauren · Rating 3 out of 5]

This book is a part of the DNF (do not finish) series that is created to be as cringe as possible so you don’t finish.

Ok this one was like half serious so took me longer to finish because wasn’t cringing as hard. I mean, the overall smut parts were of course cringe 🤢

[Rachel]

I picked this because it was the highest rated of the DNF series. This wasn't that bad, I've ready other books with some similarly written things...and some lines actually made me laugh out loud, if you want to be entertained and don't take it seriously you will at least laugh a little. There is some cringe, but it wasn't bad enough to DNF.

[Sarah~Book Obsession Confessions · Rating 5 out of 5]

So cringe, so funny and clever. It’s a fun, fast read that’s sure to make you say “ICK!” I love the cringeworthy descriptions and words. It takes a lot of creativity to make that all “come together” ;)

[Anna Stone · Rating 5 out of 5]

Loved it!

I definitely had a few omg and wtf moments with this one. It also had me laughing. The name the FMC named her restaurant I would probably not go there just because of the name. 🤣 but I am not yucking anyone's yums.

[Amanda · Rating 5 out of 5]

I can't stop laughing!

The character names alone had me laughing so dang hard. The shenanigans these two kept getting in to was so funny, yet a bit relatable. If you're looking for an amazing book with some hilarious yet cringy names for body parts, then this is the book for you! Seriously, a must read!

[Angel · Rating 1 out of 5]

Ugh. I still have nine to go, but I’m a stubborn asshole who hates DNFing so let’s go.

[Ells · Rating 4 out of 5]

So cringe it was awful? Yeah, but that was the point sooooo

[nik drake · Rating 1 out of 5]

Why.

[Greta V · Rating 3 out of 5]

The DNF series challenge.

This series is specifically designed to be cringey. Cringey enough to make you want to DNF.

This one really wasn’t terrible! Certainly wasn’t good, but at times I forgot I was reading the DNF series.

[Ellie · Rating 2 out of 5]

“take a long walk off a short pier” & “clam hammer” made me cackle. Cringe ofc but that was expected.

[Laura van Gerven · Rating 1 out of 5]

[Zoey Wilson · Rating 3 out of 5]

him making a custom ring with his jizz in it was all I needed to know about this book

[Cat · Rating 1 out of 5]

What the actual fuck. Why do I keep doing this to myself. I do hate myself but that's another level of hate

[Kelsey-rose💘 · Rating 1 out of 5]

This was bad . The mmc was a red flag istg wtf was this moving in after 1 day of knowing each other and then moving out the day after and then believing what your ex pos bf said to you - like and then like idk the whole book was bad.

The only positive if she was plus sized

She said she was ovulating and he wanted to come inside her and knock her up idk why . Also honestly the guy was a walking red flag - manipulative I skimmed alot of this which i rarely do in books cus I hated it

[Madison Outlaw · Rating 1 out of 5]

Okay the names in this book made me cackle like a 12 year old, so I’ll give it a star.
